' Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then continually adapt as situations change.... To form and lead a community of communities, the changemaker needs to possess what Bill Drayton calls "cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all." Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in evolving circumstances. "For The good of all" is the capacity to build teams.It doesn't matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can see problems and organize responses. '

The course studied ad hoc for the needs of the association " FightTheStroke "It will be played in 2 hours and addressed to an audience of small designers, with the expert conduction of Alessandro Bonaccorsi, promoter of the first course of ugly drawing in the world, because there is no interest in drawing as an act to judge.

The workshop will be held through Phase 1 of the course of ugly design, that of the return to childhood, in which we face drawings automatic, abstract, drawing lines and questioning that what we draw must necessarily be what we see; It will then introduce a second phase of design of the invisible, from the cells to the shape of the heart, from the neural nets to the cobwebs and other exercises up to the drawing of the wolf (allowing access to a symbolic and unrealistic world) and the photo Group final with masks (à la Saul Steinberg).

During the course will be used digital tools to illustrate the best explanation.
